So far this season, Ronnie O'Sullivan has played in 9 tournaments.
He's won 3 ranking events.
Has had 45 century breaks.
Won over $500,000
All at the ripe age of 42. Players tend to slow down a bit when they hit 40. Sure, every once in a while, they'll find lighting in a bottle and win a tournament. But Ronnie looks unstoppable at the moment.
Here's an INTERVIEW with him after winning the UK Championship this past Sunday. He talks about playing into his 60s.
One thing I will say is that a lot of these tournaments are a shorter format. I believe this is so they can pack in a more full schedule. I'm not so certain he would ever win the World Championship again, with it's 17 grueling days of competition. Just not sure if the stamina is there.
But, boy would I love to be proven wrong.
